I am dealing with long and demanding analyses, which needs often lots of data and time ( between few hours to couple of days) and it can happen a full stop/break on my workstations caused by diverse failures (data bugs, overflow, unexpected etc)

Is it possible to develop a "Process Notification" service, which can send an e-mail from ArcCatalog to a chosen recipient about the actual status , i.e. Reporting the status in a brief form : [1] Finished [2] Break or Failure [3] Estimated time left to be finished.
